April Showers brings May Flowers {Wednesday Hodgepodge}

1. April showers bring May flowers or so the saying goes. Are you blooming where you're planted as we begin the month of May?

After such a long, long, harsh winter… I am ready for spring. I have opened up the windows on the warmer days. The house feels more alive with all the fresh air. Now if it would only stop raining….

2. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being no big deal, and 10 being full scale panic, rank your fear of spiders.

Spiders? 10++++++++++

Stink bugs are no problem. 3. May is National Salad Month (who knew???)...besides lettuce, what are two must-have ingredients in your favorite salad?

Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese.

4. I mentioned on my blog last week that my Daughter1 will be moving to Washington State after she is married. Of the following sites in the Northwest, which would you most like to see in person-Crater Lake (Oregon), Seattle (Washington), Vancouver (British Columbia), San Juan Islands (Washington), Mt. Rainer (Washington) Oregon Coast (Oregon), Mt. St. Helens (Washington), or Olympic National Park (Washington)

All sound lovely but Vancouver is speaking to me.

5. This coming weekend marks the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby...when did you last race (literally or figuratively) to cross a finish line?

Literally, last night at the gym running on the tread mill.

6. What is something little you love?

Hugs from the little kids in my daycare. I'm lucky to get those frequently.

7. Would you say you are more of a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner? Elaborate.

I asked my husband which he thought I would be. He chuckled and said definitely not auditory because you are already partially deaf. (He's right. My right ear can only hear at 25%).

I think I am more visual. I read and use pictures more so than hands-on.

8. Insert your own random thought here.The weather has been such a tease. We will get one day of sunshine and warmth before Mother Nature changes her mind and it begins raining and becomes chilly again. Yes, April showers bring May flowers… but it has to STOP raining to enjoy the flowers!

We had a long enough dry spell that the dirt road was DRY. This rarely happens (when I see dust behind the truck I get all excited.) BUT, it stormed yesterday and I think is supposed to rain all week. My flowers are blooming though! Yay!

Rain, rain, rain - that's what we've been getting too. And chilly. Snowflakes on Monday. Need sunshine and flowers. :-) Vancouver sounds intriguing to me too. I've had my windows open a couple days too. Feels good to get some fresh air in the house.

Mother Nature just won't give the East a break! I'm so sick of the weather and long to not wear shorts but feel the warm sun on my face! And some pretty flowers in the yard would be nice! Have a great day!
